Puzzle Recovery

Remember the puzzle mayhem from a few days ago? Well, we got the puzzles all put together. There were three with similar pictures, same size pieces that Elise dumped all together. We got them all separated, and put together so we know all the pieces are there. Then, my brilliant husband thought of a genius way to keep this situation from happening again. (Elise has not had her puzzle privileges confiscated). Logan suggested numbering the back of the puzzles, so we could tell which pieces go with which puzzle. Isn't that incredibly smart? I would never have thought of writing on the puzzles. We sure are lucky to have some real brains in our household! I spent some time today, writing on the backs of all the pieces for each puzzle. That way if they all get dumped in a pile together, they will be more easily separated and we won't have to put all three puzzles together simultaneously while trying to keep Elise out of the mess. Hooray for Logan and his brilliant ideas!!!
